fondant slice? I think that my slice is way to little even though I get very little orders. Thanks.

charge?
$3-4 per person

In my part of the world I begin my fondant work at $4 per slice and it goes up from there. It really depends on your market. The bigger the city the higher you can charge.

Houston and 3.00 dollars

North of Houston:
$2.75
(I then add on depending on how intricate the design is or what type of topper)

NE Ohio
Starting at $3.00/slice. Depending on the design the price goes up.

Northeast Ohio $2.75/serv.

I'm in Des Moines, Iowa - the high end bakeries here go for around $3.75 as a base price - and add on from there depending on flavor, filling and decorations.

I guess you need to look at your local bakery scene, judge their work against yours and go from there. Are you getting a lot of requests? Raise your prices then..

I can't give fondant covered cakes away here 20 min west of Cleveland Ohio. 2.50 for buttercream though.

I wanted to add Cleveland gets 5.75 , it's no wonder people come to me from there.

$4.50+ / Northern Virginia & DC area

Southwest Ohio

I do $2.25 per serving BC and $3.50 for fondant.

Northeast Ohio, and I start at $3. Although, I am considering upping the price. Lately, I have realized I haven't been making much of a profit, especially for the time I put into it. It really depends on what you want out of it. If you have the talent, I believe people will pay for it. Me, I don't want to be crazy busy, I would be happy doing a cake a month (a wedding cake would be nice ). But, until I get that wedding cake order, I am stuck doing birthday cakes. Sigh

Thxs for all of the responses. They are greatly appreciated!!! I guess Im pretty normal as far as pricing. I guess I just get discouraged when people say "I just didnt want to spend that much on cake" It gets so itirritating!!!! I mean if you want something beautiful OBVIOUSLY its gonna take time so why would I not charge you for my time. A cake is not just flour and eggs. Its love and patience too. Thanks for all of your guys help!!!
